About

Subrata Kumar Kundu is a pioneer in the field of assistive robotics, with a focused expertise in developing implantable and wearable robotic systems for human motion assistance. His research centers on the design of inner skeleton robots and power-assist prostheses, particularly for individuals with physical disabilities or the elderly. Kundu’s major contributions include the creation of an EMG-controlled robotic elbow prosthesis, which integrates human and robotic systems into a single, actuated joint for forearm motion assist. He also developed a 2-degree-of-freedom inner skeleton robot capable of supporting both elbow flexion-extension and forearm supination-pronation, a critical advancement for daily living activities. His most cited works, including the 2007 and 2006 papers, have each garnered 9 citations, reflecting their foundational role in the field. Notably, his 2009 study broadens the scope of robotics from industrial applications to transformative medical uses, highlighting his vision for implantable power-assist devices. Kundu’s work stands at the intersection of robotics and rehabilitation, offering innovative solutions that enhance mobility and quality of life.
